Chapter 014: Pretending to be a Pig and Eating a Tiger
For the past two days, Xia Zhixing had not returned to the Yi Garden Villa, but stayed in the school dormitory, attending classes during the day and going to the library at night.
Although Pei Yumeng was puzzled, she thought of what she had said that day and felt that she was overthinking. Moreover, Xia Zhixing not returning home indicated that her relationship with Bo Yechen was not good, which was something she was happy about.
Liang Zhizhi, who had always had a grudge against Xia Zhixing, sarcastically remarked, "If last-minute repentance works, then why bother studying?"
Xia Zhixing couldn't be bothered to deal with her. Although there were some grievances between her and Liang Zhizhi, it was just some trivial matters between girls. In the end, it was just that they couldn't stand each other, and there was no real enmity.
So, the most effective way to deal with her was to ignore her.
Anyone would get tired of talking to themselves for a long time.
Liang Zhizhi, unable to believe that Xia Zhixing remained unmoved by her words, left the dormitory in frustration.
After she left, Xu Cheng, wearing earphones, glanced meaningfully at Xia Zhixing, who was reading, and felt the gaze on her right cheek. Xia Zhixing looked up at her with a helpless expression and shrugged.
Xu Cheng couldn't help but smile. It had been almost three years, and she and the other three people in the dormitory had always had a distant relationship with Xia Zhixing, who they thought of as a haughty and arrogant young lady. However, these two encounters had changed her impression of her.
...
In the afternoon, Xia Zhixing had two classes, but during the second class, she felt a slight stomach ache, like the prelude to her period, so she returned to the dormitory early.
As she took a shortcut back, she vaguely saw a couple arguing at the corner ahead, like a quarreling couple.
When she saw the faces of the two people, a cold smile slowly appeared on her lips.
Sure enough, she had guessed it right!
Feeling someone's gaze, Song Zian, feeling annoyed, scolded, "Gu..."
The next moment, his voice was stuck in his throat, and his expression changed from stiff to gentle. "Xiaoxing, what are you doing here? Aren't you in class?"
Xia Zhixing didn't miss the panic in his eyes, and it was the first time she had seen Song Zian being so fierce just now. Indeed, he had always been wearing a mask in front of her!
Song Zian quickly let go of Pei Yumeng's hand and walked towards Xia Zhixing, intending to hold her hand as usual, but she avoided it.
Song Zian froze again, finding it hard to believe that Xia Zhixing, who had always been obedient to him, would resist him and show a strange expression.
Pei Yumeng quickly explained in a soft voice, "Xingxing, you've misunderstood. Just now, Senior Song was just anxious and grabbed my hand to ask about your situation. He's really worried about you..."
Song Zian hurriedly continued, "Xiaoxing, it's all my fault. I couldn't protect you..."
His voice was gentle and magnetic, and his eyes were affectionate.
The previous Xia Zhixing would have been immersed in this gentle illusion and forgiven him quickly every time he blamed himself...
Huh! Unfortunately, she was no longer the foolish Xia Zhixing from her previous life, and she would not allow them to manipulate and deceive her again!
Pei Yumeng never expected that Xia Zhixing would leave the classroom early today. It was all Song Zian's fault. She had told him not to meet privately at school, but he didn't listen, saying that he missed her...
Was it her fault? Xia Zhixing had been staying in the dormitory at night these days. If she wasn't there, what if it got to her ears?
To avoid revealing more flaws, she hurriedly excused herself, "Xingxing, you talk to Senior Song. I'll leave first."
As she took a step, Xia Zhixing grabbed her, "Stay with me. If someone takes a picture of me and Senior Song alone again, the Bo family will definitely not support my family anymore, and my dad will nag me all the time."
